STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Police are asking the public's help in finding two men sought for questioning in connection with a baseball bat assault outside a New Dorp deli earlier this year.

The attack happened at about 1:15 a.m. April 21, by the corner of New Dorp Lane and North Railroad Avenue.

The victim, a 26-year-old male, got into an argument with the men, identified as suspects in a written statement from the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner for Public Information office, which led to the attack.

A law enforcement source said the victim was struck with a baseball bat at one point.

The victim was taken to Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, where he was treated for injuries and released, police said.

The NYPD has released surveillance footage from a deli a short time before the attack, and is asking the public's help identifying the men captured on the video.
